Call and ask for prices on 'feeder guppies '. They are sometimes not out on display with the fancy fish. You should find them several for a dollar. Call around to aquatics stores for best price.

Were at you located and why won't they sell to you?

Let's try this again. Duh Time to up my meds. again.

Hmmm...I know some of the places around here won't sell rats to my friend for her Ball. Maybe some places do the same with fish?...I don't really understand why. I mean, I feel bad knowing animals are going to be eaten, but other animals need to eat...(I know fish would be different than rats, but jsut a thought)

i am in colorado.

i used to work in a petco and the only fish that are sold to use as feeders are the comet goldfish.
i guess i dont have to mention that they will be eaten, lol, but if the fish are the only thing that he will eat i would like to buy platies without being denied a sale just cause they are going to be food.

his eyes are a cloudy blue......is he getting ready to shed?

[guidofatherof5]

I'm not aware of any Petco policy that would prevent you from buying any fish for whatever purpose you may have for them.

Check with any one owner shops in your area for guppies or maybe Gambusia.
Smaller shops would probably have a bigger need for feeder guppies and such.

Parasites are a big problem when using any kind of wild fish.

i caught them for my empty fish tank lol. my step kids and i were out trying to catch tadpols, but i think we were a little late in the season for them lol.

i am gonna wait and see if he sheds. his eyes are cloudy....i guess that is a sign he is getting ready, maybe that is why my snake is not keen on eating at the moment.

Some snakes don't eat when in opaque phase (shedding phase). Make sure your snake has access to a large water bowl that will allow him to swim. Many snake take a dip just before to aid in he shedding process. Once he has shed be sure to look for a complete shed. You'll need to see two eye caps and a complete tail shed.
